Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Redan, GA
Chimney work in Redan runs on a different clock than the rest of metro Atlanta. The housing stock here skews older, the lots are wooded, and the humidity never really lets up from May through September. That combination means creosote builds faster, flashing fails sooner, and water gets into places it shouldn’t. Flint Chimney Sweep handles all three core services – sweep, inspection, and repair – with written pricing before any work starts and a one-year guarantee on every repair in writing. Call (830) 251-4560 to talk to a live person, any hour.
Why Redan Homes Are Different
Redan sits in south DeKalb County, and a lot of what we see here traces back to when the homes were built. A large share of the housing stock went up between the late 1960s and early 1990s, so the chimneys are generally masonry with clay tile liners. Clay tile liners crack under repeated heat cycling, and once cracked, they let heat and gases reach the surrounding brick. That’s not a scare tactic – it’s the structural reality of a 40-year-old chimney in this climate.
Humidity is the other factor. Georgia summers keep mortar damp for weeks at a time, and freeze-thaw cycles in January and February expand whatever water has seeped into the brick joints. The result is spalling – brick faces popping off – and failing mortar crowns around the flue opening. Redan homeowners who see brick chips in the yard or white staining on the chimney face aren’t looking at cosmetics; they’re looking at water penetration that gets worse every season. We also see a lot of tree canopy over Redan roofs, which puts pine needles and leaf litter directly into uncapped flues.
Our Main Redan Services
Most Redan calls start with one of two things: a chimney that hasn’t been swept in years and an odor or draft problem the homeowner can’t pinpoint. These three services cover the full range of what we do in Redan, each with its own page for the specific details.
Chimney Sweep in Redan
A Chimney Sweep in Redan removes the creosote and soot that have bonded to the flue walls. In Redan’s humid summers, creosote tends to be stickier and harder to remove than it is in drier climates, which means we often spend extra time on mechanical brushing rather than relying on chemical treatments alone. The job includes laying drop cloths, running a HEPA-filtered vacuum, and cleaning the firebox, smoke shelf, and damper. Nobody leaves a mess behind – that’s part of the written scope on every sweep.
Chimney Inspection in Redan
A Chimney Inspection in Redan is the only way to know whether a chimney is safe to burn before a fire is lit. Given the age of many Redan chimneys, we recommend a Level 2 inspection whenever a home changes hands, after a chimney fire, or if the homeowner has used the fireplace for years without one. We run a camera up the flue at every inspected level and hand over the photos so you can see what we see. No recommendation gets made without visual evidence.
Chimney Repair in Redan
When a Redan chimney needs work, Chimney Repair in Redan covers everything from crown resealing to full flue relining, which replaces the inner liner that channels smoke safely out of the house. Given the age of the local housing stock, cracked clay tile liners are the most common repair call we get. Every repair carries a written guarantee valid for one full year, and if a covered repair fails inside that window, we return at no charge – no argument, no second invoice.

Brands We Service in Redan

FAQs About Chimney Company in Redan
Most Redan sweeps and inspections can be scheduled within the same week, often inside three business days. Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, so you can book a time without waiting for a callback. If a chimney has already had a fire or is actively leaking, we prioritize it.
That depends on your neighborhood’s covenants. In Redan, interior work like a sweep or inspection rarely triggers anything. Exterior repairs, especially anything visible from the street, can fall under architectural review in some subdivisions. We can provide the written scope and materials list you’d need to file for approval, and we work with whatever review timeline your HOA requires.
Rain and high winds are the usual reasons a Redan appointment moves, since rooftops and ladders are not safe in those conditions. Georgia thunderstorms in the afternoon are common in summer. If we can’t work safely, we rebook at the next open slot and keep your original quote intact.
